Spring
Spring has a special colour. It is, without a doubt, the light at the end of the dark and cold months of winter. Daylight hours begin to overrule the night, both the cities and countryside are filled with vibrant light and colour. A wonderful season for organizing a road trip in a motorhome or a campervan!
The campsites reopen, the temperatures are mild and pleasant, and the cities are not very crowded. It is the time to enjoy the intense green of the mountains and the tranquillity of the beaches, when they have not yet been filled with summer tourists.

Also, the prices for renting a motorhome or a campervan are lower than in summer. Some of the best cities (and countries) to visit in spring are Rome (Italy), Vienna (Austria), Prague (Czech Republic) Paris (France), or Keukenhof (Netherlands).
Rome gets full of flowers and joy of its people in the terraces of Trastevere. The Italian capital is an ideal destination to get away from the everyday life and enjoy Italian cuisine, heritage, and history, getting lost in the Colosseum, visiting the Pantheon or admiring the Trevi Fountain.
We cannot omit another of the jewels of the continent, Paris. The French capital is a perfect destination during the whole year but will make you fall in love with spring. In addition, France is one of the few European countries that are very motorhome friendly.
There you can visit some of the main points of interest – the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, Notre Dame or Arc de Triomphe and enjoy the exteriors of the city without the cold and humidity of winter. This will allow you to enjoy its parks and gardens such as Les Tuileries, Luxembourg Jardins, Jardin des Plantes, or just stroll along the banks of the Seine or perhaps to simply get lost in the Parisian streets and visit the street markets.
Further down the road, the Austrian capital – Vienna is also famous for its gardens and parks. Sissi The Empress would undoubtedly think the same – that at this time of year the parks have a special kind of magic. The true heart of the city is its cathedral “Stephansdom”, St. Stephen, which is not far from some of its most famous cafés – Café Sperl and Café Central, where you can try one of its best and renowned sweets: the Sacher Torte.
Spring is undoubtedly the best time to enjoy a road trip in Czech Republic and of course to visit the capital, Prague. To be more specific, May would be the best month, since March and April can still be somewhat cold or with some rain. Prices during this time will still be reasonable and visiting the Old Town Square, the Prague Castle, walking on Naplavka along the Vltava River or walking through one of Prague’s many beautiful parks will be a very pleasant and unique experience.
And last but not least, Keukenhof, in Holland, is a must to visit during the spring. The reason? There is the largest tulip field in the world, and you want to see it in full bloom. Keukenhof is not far from Amsterdam, so visiting the Dutch capital suggests itself. There you can walk along one of the many canals in the city, visit the Van Gogh Museum, the Flower Market, or the Dam Square.

Summer
When talking about traveling in Summer, everyone is overwhelmed thinking about the heap of agglomerations and the horrific heat, and it is true, but there are a lot of perfect destinations where travel by motorhome and live on the streets, beaches or campsite during the summer season is the best idea ever.
The following destinations enjoy mild temperatures throughout the summer and they do not usually receive so much tourism at this time of year. Some of the recommendations are French Brittany, Normandy, the Basque Country, and the Nordic countries: Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

In any case, summer offers long and sunny days, so it is desirable to spend a few days away from home to get away from the routine. If you decide to visit the French Brittany, you will travel across time and space to the Medieval Age; for example, Nantes or Vitré are considered some the most beautiful places in France, or you can perhaps discover other medieval jewels with a lot of history – the villages of Joselin, Dinan, or Combourg.
Further north, in Normandy, you cannot miss Mont-Saint-Michel, a tidal island that is on the UNESCO list for its unique aesthetic and importance as a medieval Christian site; or Omaha, the beach where the landing in 1944 took place; or Honfleur, a charming town that is perhaps the most beautiful port in Normandy, often portrayed by, among others, Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind; and of course, the cliffs of Éretat, where you can breathe the fresh sea breeze and perhaps end up taking a dip in the sea.
Down to the south, the northernmost part of Spain is the Basque Country, or Euskadi as it is known in its language. That is one of the best destinations in summer since the temperatures are usually mild but still pleasant enough to enjoy its beaches; if you are surf lovers, you cannot miss this wonderful region and try its waves in Zarautz, Mutriku or Mundaka.
If you are more into gastronomy, be sure to visit San Sebastián which is famous for its pintxos, a Basque specialty, that translates to spike or skewers, or perhaps another local delicacy – a cod in pilpil sauce accompanied by a good txakoli, a slightly sparkling, very dry white wine that is normally served as an aperitif. You shouldn’t omit visiting the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao or, if you are Game of Thrones fans, you must visit San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
Should you like the northern countries better, a motorhome route in any of the Nordic countries is a good idea since they are well prepared for this type of travellers. In Finland, during summer, you cannot miss Porvoo, the second oldest city in the country, Helsinki, of course, for its environment and its green parks, and Savonlinna, a city between lakes, islands and forests. As for Denmark, one shouldn’t omit the charming villages of Ribe, Stege, Romo, Koge or the Fjord known as Roskilde.
In Sweden, one of the most magical places in the country is the Swedish Lapland, where you can experience the midnight sun and visit the gateway to this wonderful place: in Skellefteå. People often spend a day in the streets practicing yoga, or you might go rafting, or to a concert.
Finally, in Norway, you can plan your motorhome route visiting the Norwegian fjords, go trekking and be constantly in close relation with nature. It is advisable to make the route that goes from Stavanger to Bergen.

Autumn
Some people may not like autumn because it is the season that follows after summer and its holidays, some people may feel depressed with the waning daylight. But let’s look at the bright side of it, it is an opportunity to do some serious traveling: once summer is over, the crowds don’t travel so much and many people wait till Christmas Holidays to organize a trip. There comes a great opportunity to avoid crowds and enjoy mild temperatures, especially in southern Europe.
One of the best cities to visit in autumn is, without a doubt, Barcelona. At this time of a year, there is much less influx of tourists and the weather is pleasant. The humid and sultry heat of summer is over and it makes walking through Las Ramblas, getting a tapa in Boqueria Market or strolling through Barceloneta much more pleasant. In addition, you will also skip a lot of queues and crowds to enter Park Güell or the Sagrada Família. If you have enough time, you shouldn’t miss visiting Girona or Sitges as well.

Another of the destinations that are great in autumn is Nice, in the south of France. Simply getting lost in the streets of the Old City will already be a delight because the good vibes of this city will make you fall in love at first sight, or you can also have a very nice walk in the Promenade das Anglais and visit the Cathedral of San Nicolás, or the Flower Market.
Having mentioned these two cities, it is impossible to omit Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. In October, the sun still shines, the temperatures are still up to 25°C and the prices decrease; restaurants and bars offer discounts and after a few hours on the road driving the motorhome, your stomach will surely appreciate a tasty cod. From there, you can visit Sintra Castle, eat a seafood platter in Cascais or go wine tasting in a vineyard.
Where France, Spain and Portugal fit, Italy also fits. We cannot ignore this wonderful country; and it is clear that Rome is one of the best destinations not only in Italy but in the world. But sometimes it may be worth it to check out also the regions that are not in the main guides, such as Piamonte. Even though it is not as popular as Tuscany, your motorhome trip there will be unforgettable. In Piamonte you will visit its capital, Torino; or Orta San Giulio, a charming little town; Cannobio, a coastal town where you can taste seafood accompanied by a good wine. Other beautiful towns in this region are Barolo, Ivrea or Saluzzo.

Winter
Winter is a fascinating season. There are people who love to run from the cold and travel to tropic destinations, and others who love to plan a road trip to some snowcovered paradise such as the Alps, the Dolomites or the South Tirol, in Kitzbuhel. It is also possible to start a road trip in a city and then travel until you reach the mountains.
One of the best examples are Austria and Switzerland. If you have enough time, why don’t you try starting your Christmas route in Vienna and have the final destination in the Alps going through Salzburg, the magical Hallstatt and the amazing town of Kitzbuhel in South Tirol.

You may also go to Switzerland and visit Zurich and Lucerne, perfect places to soak in the Christmas atmosphere, and eventually enjoy the ski, the snow and the mountain landscape. It sounds like a cool way to finish a year and start the new one. If you are not snow lovers, then no worries, you can also visit the Christmas markets, and if you prefer to avoid crowds, the best idea is to visit the ones in Cologne or Nurenberg in Germany; both are beautiful cities, where the Christmas spirit is very palpable, yet they aren’t the usual travel destinations so you will be able to meet interesting local people and live the holidays as they do.
On your way, don’t forget to eat some curry sausage, a pork knuckle or drink good beer (of course, if you do not have to drive afterwards!). Whichever destination you decide to include in your winter or Christmas trip, it is bound to be magic!
